In an incredible interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s Faithwire, Tailah Scroggins, a former member of the occult who is now a Christian, spoke about how God saved her from the dark world she used to inhabit and how faith is important.
Reporting on what Scroggins said about making it out of the occult, CBN News reports she said, “Deliverance ministry is the ministry of Jesus, casting out demons.” Continuing, she explained that freedom from such evils was how God led her out of her dark world in the occult, saying, “Deliverance was huge in my testimony. God freed me from so much.”
Giving examples of from what God saved her, Scroggins said, “Jesus picked me up out of all of that and set me free from depression and anxiety.” She added, “God can free you and He’s what you’ve been searching for. That hole in your heart, a relationship isn’t gonna fill it, drugs isn’t gonna fill it, going to all the false spirituality … Jesus is what you’re searching for.”
She then explained that, because of her past and how God helped her out of it, she is now “passionate about” using ministry to deliver people from the dark pits they might find themselves in. “I’m so passionate about deliverance ministry,” she said. She continued, “That’s what I do online and in person.”
She also commented on how people found her content and found their way to God through it, throwing away their occult objects and following God instead. “Millions of people started watching the videos and writing in and saying, ‘I threw my crystals away. I threw my tarot cards away. I’m free from depression,’” she told CBN. She continued, “It’s really cool to see what the Lord is doing through online ministry.”

Scroggins was speaking about the matter before the red carpet premier of Nefarious, a movie about demon possession. The movie’s description provides, “On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own.”
Sean Patrick Flannery, an actor in the movie, said he wanted to participate in it because it is one of the few faith-based movies he has come across with a compelling script. He said, “It is such a well-executed story that doesn’t ask you for introspection, it forces introspection.”
Continuing, he went on to say that the problem with most faith-based movies is that they’re not very good, saying, “A large percentage of faith-based films and right-of-center films, in my opinion and I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings, but they’re just not good. I believe and support the content, but just because you have good morals doesn’t mean you can play the guitar like Eddie Van Halen.”
